Sorry. I mean the "rich" text editor which does stuff like underline and linking in place rather than using bbcode. The setting is in your preferences:
I like it for the most part, but what happened to the arrow that took you to the last post you read a thread?
It's useable on my dual 1ghz Quicksilver in Leopard Webkit, although the old layout was much faster.
The new MR Front Page has crashed my 9600(200MP) in Classilla I'm pretty sure-I can't even get to the forum to check how it does.

not like you have a shortage of vintage macs to test it on.
More fade... and the typography is just awful. Why do new developers insist on changing font size and weight for every object. Just because you can do it doesn't mean its a good idea. Readability suffers, it looks too busy.
There are, you just may need to refresh your cache.
It would be nice if there were some buttons for responding and quoting
I think a simplified version of the forums, like the old mobile forums before this grade would be smooth sailing for G3 and low spec G4s, as well as anything lower. Too bad the two forum systems are different and incompatible.

Also, last note, remember, we need to be thankful and reasonable. We are lucky to have great forum admins that will upgrade from a dying system to something more modern and 'hip'. Lastly, most browsers are on modern machines capable of running the new site, we shouldn't complain too much.
The new look is growing on me as I figure out where everything is. It is a change that needed to happen for more reasons than one and I sure am thankful that @arn did a great job with the UI as well as migrating everything quickly!
This is really starting to piss me off.
Almost everytime I close my browser I get logged out, and 80% of the time when I try to log back in I get what's in the picture.
I had to try 3 browsers and waste about 5 minutes I'll never get back just to log in so I could post this rant.

I do agree with this. There are some teething pains that I'm sure will be worked out, and I'm also sure I'll get used to the new layout in a few days.
I just hope that stuff like being able to access the site in Classilla aren't permanently broken, however.
